FLOYA presents their debut album Yume, a deeply connective & emotive work of art out now worldwide via Arising Empire.
After rapid-firing singles over the past two years, the duo has seamlessly woven together their diverse musical influences into a cohesive and unconventional musical journey. Phil Bayer and Marv Wilder skillfully merge dreamy Arena-Rock with the soundscapes of EDM, creating a sound that defies expectations and, on paper, shouldn’t even work. Tracks like Drift make you want to jump straight out of your chair and uncontrollably throw your extremities through the air, while tracks like Epiphany and Yume offer tranquil and almost meditative experiences. Lights Out hits like a truck within the first few seconds, contrasting with the introspective vibe of Wonders, reminiscent of Peter Gabriel’s SO era. The album’s diversity and poetic depth reflect FLOYA’s focused perspective:
‘We wanted to emphasize gratitude and positivity on ‘Yume’, even as we touch on some somber themes. It’s a reminder to focus on what brings us joy and fulfillment, amidst life’s challenges. We’re proud of the emotional range and cohesion we’ve achieved with ‘Yume,’ and we’re confident listeners will find something to resonate with.’
